As a hole, it’s not that bad.
I wish Amy had been there
"Well pickle me eels and tickle me belly 'cause I am off to merry London Town for a right fuck about, ey?"
Mine is “Eatin so much pussy I’m shittin clits”
This is one of my very favourite episodes. The scene where Selina is so thrown by Tom’s confession about loving her, that she can hardly speak at the marshmallow roast and humiliates herself in front of the crowd. Ken, deadpan: “She’s having a textbook aneurysm”. Gary, mesmerized: “She looks like a goddess.” It’s so perfect.
Other fave elements from this episode: The “not-me” movement. The jokes about an all-female ticket. Tom’s Amy. Dan having an existential crisis after Felix Wade’s groupies call him grandma. Mike outing Felix and then “hiding in the bathroom making diarrhea noises” as per Kent.
This classic Mike quote came to me when I read this headline
You can add a bonus of who you think the other real-world analog politicians are, but Furlong is definitely the funniest to think about.
"I'm not your mother."
Didn't they miss a huge comedy moment in season 4, episode 3 (Data)? The scene during the Easter Egg roll on the WH lawn. Selina is talking to the marine in the Easter bunny suit. It would have been hilarious if the marine in the suit said something to her like, "I did 3 tours without a scratch, but I lost my leg on my last mission before retiring. Now this is the type of job I have to take". Or something to that effect. They whiffed on that IMO.
It occurrs to me that Labor Day always falls between the parties’ national conventions. In 2012 when Selina secured her veep nomination, Labor Day was Sep 3rd, and the DNC was Sep 4-6.
S7 proves you need a strong bargaining chip to get the VP slot, and it can come down to the wire.
Any theories of what Gary might’ve sacrificed or done to close the deal for Selina? What could be more sacrificial (in Gary’s eyes) than what viewers have already seen? It had to be a Jesus-level sacrifice, because just the mention of it was enough to break the screaming argument, and draw an apology out of Selina.
